The CarbonX

The CarbonX makes abundant use of a truly remarkable material to enhance two unique rifle properties--weight and cooling.

A carbon fiber wrapped barrel from Proof Research weighs the same as our lightest fluted barrel, but we can run a full diameter muzzle brake to fully control recoil. Utilizing the right resins, this barrel cools faster than steel, so high volume shooters get faster recovery from high volume shot strings. To take full advantage of the lightweight property, we offer the CarbonX in our carbon fiber LR1000 rifle stock for all mountain performance. If you are chasing Ultra Light Weight, opt for our Titanium action option to create a truly unique rifle system.

The System

Where other gun makers leave off, Gunwerks is just getting started. After the rifle is complete, it goes through an exhaustive process to break in and test the performance for precision, fit, and function. If it passes, it moves on to the long range package of scope, ballistic data collection, and custom BDC turret. Only then is it a Gunwerks Shooting System.

The Design

We first started using Carbon barrels, in attempt to enhance cooling down specificly for high rate of fire tactical rifles. We soon found it applicable for much more! With the CarbonX you can configure everything from an ultralight alpine rifle to a beefed up tactical competition rig. Just pick the components that fit your application.

The Hunt

A versatile design. We’ve configured this rifle for applications A to Z: Tactical performance, mountain hunting, long range competition -- lightweight to heavy with floorplate or high capacity magazine. Define your application, the CarbonX can be configured to match, creating a tailored system for the best possible performance.

Custom Made

Each turret is calibrated to match the exact ballistics of your rifle and ammunition.

GLR Action

Innovative features and world class design. Low throw ejection, twin plungers. Twin cocking helix, field strippable bolt, borden bumps and a one piece bolt handle. Titanium or 17R stainless steel in RH/LH and long or short action configurations.

Carbon Barrel

Why the added expense? A carbon barrel utilizes a stainless steel barrel liner, wrapped with carbon fiber and a high-tech resin matrix. The result is a larger diameter barrel that weighs the same as our 2G barrel with flutes. An engineered resin matrix and larger diameter increase cooling, making it perfect for high volume shoots.

Bedding Chassis

The other guys are still using plastic to fix machining errors. We don’t bed our rifles. Our bedding chassis is machined to precisely secure the action in a v rail configuration, and when combined with the integral recoil lug on the GLR action, it creates the most stable platform available.

Detachable Magazine

The AI magazine box system is the industry standard for precision shooting. Choose this option for tactical match competition or to add the convenience of a detachable magazine box, with 5 and 10 round capacity options.

Big Barrel, Big Performance

The large diameter barrel fits well with our most effective muzzle brake, perfect for a superlight rifle chambered for a heavy recoil cartridge.

CNC MFG/ Engineering

Long range shooting requires precision. Our Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality Control Process gives us a distinct advantage over the small boutique rifle builder. We can give our customers a better product.
